PRE-ORDERS are OPEN! This Limited Edition plush will be 10% off until pre-orders close! (we don’t know when that will be yet)
🌠 Long Sheng is as precious as the porcelain he is made from. Brimming with good fortune, Long Sheng hopes this luck will rub off on others around him. For what is fortune without loved ones to share it with?🤍 SHOP NOW!
🐢🦎 NOOT THE TURTLE 🦎🐢
Noot is here and PRE-ORDERS are OPEN! This plush will be 10% off until pre-orders close! (Pre-orders close March 30th!)
"The names Noot! Not that I am a newt... I'm definitely a turtle. Noot is just a cool name..."
Wait, are we sure he's a turtle? His shell looks kinda suspicious...
(✨Noot's shell is removable!✨) SHOP NOW!
DISCLAIMER:
Noot is actually NOT a turtle, he's a newt disguised as one! Noot can be fully removed from his shell! Turtles' shells are part of their bodies and should not be attempted to be removed!
